Many years ago, my bank accounts were wiped clean. I was robbed so badly that I no longer knew how I would buy my little children a liter of milk. It was horrible, I really mean it. The worst part was that the thief walked free. A web of offshore trust firms and shell companies protected him, and all I could do was work through court files every day—because I learned quickly that if I didn’t do it myself, nobody would. For months, I was consumed by finding out what happened to my money. And then, after almost a year, I told myself: it has to be over. The money is gone. I reminded myself that everything I had built and earned, I had achieved from zero—and that I could do it again. Today, I’m doing much better. It didn’t bring the thief any luck, happiness, or prosperity. So if you belong to those who have lost their savings because of the recent events - my deepest sympathy for you. If you still know how to buy a liter of milk, you’re in an even better position than I was. Learn from it. Let go of what can’t be recovered. Start again. (The thief ultimately served time in prison. 2 years ago—after 26 years!!!!—I finally received about half a percent of the stolen amount. 😏 I donated it. Life is good.) image

the most real things in life cannot be stolen. it is man’s destiny to continually start again, sometimes from absolutely nothing. for those who cannot accept it, their story comes to an end, but for those who keep going in the face of impossible adversity, theirs is the kingdom of heaven

This is well said and a good lesson Mrs @Evelin. Past is the past. If we think those things and worry, we will miss our present and can't focus on the future. It is very hard when we lost something. But time and the smart work will solve everything. But it will take time. My deepest sympathy to all fellow plebs who lost the funds. But keep in mind that your family needs you. You can earn money. But can't earn such a nice family you have. If someone need to talk a bit and heal the mind DM me anytime. 🫂
